Life can be strange at times. You think

Life can be strange at times.

November 27, 2023

Life can be strange at times. You think it is going to turn out one way and it turns out different than what you thought or had planned! If we are honest, probably it turned out the way it was supposed to, maybe even better than you could possibly have wanted. Some call what happens in life fate, others call it trusting God. I believe, if you trust God and let God lead the way, life has a way of working out. The hard part is learning to trust God. Trusting God in my opinion is an essential element of our faith. By learning to trust God in all situations and circumstances, you will find peace, strength, contentment, wisdom, hope, and perseverance. Think about this, when you are not walking in trust in God, you try to take your life into your own hands; your decisions are secular, of this world. They are “Me centered” not “God centered.” Thus, life becomes uncertain, hurtful, and hard. Trusting in God does not change what happens in life. It just makes it easier to cope, giving you hope, during life’s difficulties. The bible teaches us, “Trust in the LORD with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5) Today, if you are questioning what is going on in your life. If you are doubting and wondering why? Turn to the LORD—lean upon Him and know that with God all things are possible. So read the Bible, pray, listen to Christian music and trust. For this too will pass, and with God on our side we will not give up. So trust. Trust in the LORD. God Bless. Amen.
